How to get rid of hesitation? How to improve communication skills?
I'm working as a lead in a leading software company. I've hesitation to talk to other people. How to get rid of hesitation? How to improve my communication skills? I look for excellent books, articles, tips and ideas/ways to improve my communication skills effectively. Please do provide your thoughts.
Books will only help a little. Practice speaking in public and in front of people is necessary to improve your abilities. In the US there is an organization called Toastmasters that exists expressly for that purpose. Apparently it is International now. http://www.toastmasters.org/
